A BRIEF History of Music is on at Sturminster’s Exchange Theatre this Saturday at 7.30pm.

The latest show from acclaimed musicians Blast from the Past takes in 600 years of musical history in 90 minutes, starting in the Middle Ages and ending up in the 20th century and incorporating everything in between.

Featuring long-forgotten songs, tunes and jokes, the show features a bewildering array of instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, rauschpfeife and vihuela.

Tickets priced £10 are available at stur-exchange.co.uk or on 01258-475137.
